Dawn Is On Its Way

[Intro]
[Chopped Vocal Texture]
The night can press its weight against your chest
But morning keeps a place for you

[Verse 1]
When the room feels smaller than your thoughts
And every quiet corner ties a knot
Take one breath, let the moment pass
You are more than what the darkness asks

When your own name sounds distant in your head
And every promise feels better left unsaid
Put your feet beside the bed and stand
There is still a future in your hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on through the heavy hour
Rain can bend the tallest flower
Somewhere past the blackened sky
A softer color waits to rise

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, dawn is on its way
There will be a reason to smile someday
Even when your mind says disappear
Stay with me, the morning is near

Hold on, hold on, let the dark run dry
There is a little fire you kept alive
When the first light reaches through
You will see it was reaching for you

[Verse 2]
Leave the curtains open just a crack
Let a thread of morning find its path
Call somebody, say you need a voice
Small steps still count as a choice

The ache may leave a mark beneath your skin
That does not mean the ache has got to win
Keep a glass of water by your side
Give the living part of you some time

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on through the restless weather
You do not have to heal it all together
Somewhere past the blackened sky
A softer color waits to rise

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, dawn is on its way
There will be a reason to smile someday
Even when your mind says disappear
Stay with me, the morning is near

Hold on, hold on, let the dark run dry
There is a little fire you kept alive
When the first light reaches through
You will see it was reaching for you

[Bridge]
If tonight is all you can survive
Let surviving be enough tonight
No grand answer, no perfect sign
Just your heartbeat keeping time

[Break]
[Chopped Memphis-Style Background Vocals]
Hold on
Stay here
Morning near

[Final Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, dawn is on its way
There will be a reason to smile someday
Even when your mind says disappear
Stay with me, the morning is near

Hold on, hold on, let the dark run dry
There is a little fire you kept alive
When the first light reaches through
You will see it was reaching for you

[Outro]
The dark is loud, but it is not the end
Take one more breath, then take one more step
